In 2014, Goel sought the Republican Party nomination for a US House of Representatives race in Illinois' 8th congressional district, and she sought to repeal Obamacare. Goel attempted to cater to the 12% Asian minority of the district, and she attempted to use illicit means to defeat her opponent, Larry Kaifesh, such as making a fake website for him that defamed him, as well as by buying votes.
